Lethvm/This Fall Shall Cease/Deadlight Entertainment/2017 CD Review

Lethvm are a band from Belgium that plays a mixture of doom and sludge metal and this is a review of their 2017 album "This Fall Shall Cease" which will be released on November 24th by Deadlight Entertainment.

Atmospheric post rock style sounds start off the album along with some clean playing before going into more of a heavier sludge metal direction while the vocals are mostly angry screams along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and spoken word parts are used briefly.

Melodic vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the solos and leads also bring in a decent amount of melody along with clean playing also being added onto some of the later tracks and growls are also utilized in some parts of the songs and when the music speeds up briefly a small amount of blast beats can be heard as well as the energy of punk and female chants are also used briefly on one of the tracks.

Lethvm plays a musical style that mixes sludge, doom and post metal to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark, depressive and mythological themes.

In my opinion Lethym are a very great sounding mixture of post, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wandering At Dawn" "The Shades Of Minerva" and "Ejla". 8 out of 10.
